No. The vast majority are not bullies, liars or thugs.

It's still better in person. For many reason, mostly because sitting the the same room you can much more easily maintain sever channel of conversations at once... and play to see who pays for the food.
But I'm not sure why he thing you can only play with strangers. Plus all your friends were strangers once.
I want the to fit together like a Chinese puzzle box. Also, I would like to create a device that converts the expansion of the universe into electricity and chocolate bars.
how do you have a working Linux bocx is every single thing on it is FOSS?
Can you do anything with it? Who makes the drivers? the firmware? where did you find DOSS Disk drive firmware? What is you BIOS? Or maybe everything isn't FOSS?
No game need more then 8, and any problem you are having with 8 is likely to occur with 24. IT's aa setting issue.
If you are doing many big tasks, then that's different. If you are ripping disk while playing game, more ram will help. Of course there are plenty of non game application that can use a shit ton of RAM. Video editing, CAD, weather simulation, ASIC simulation or trimming, and so on.
You are conflating two different things, stop it. SSD means you boot faster, and access faster, maybe. there are a lot of factors their Bus, application capabilities and so on.
I haven't done that at all since windows 7 came out. I know I will need to dodge pitch forks, but MS did a pretty good job with win 7.
I don't fiddle much any more, and I have no patience to fiddle with games. There is no longer an excuse for it. The most twiddling I do with games is set to the correct resolution and adjust sound volumes.
I did learn something very annoying with windows 7: There is no way through windows to change the start up sound. You can change the volume or turn it off; which is lame. Reeks of a marketing decision. However I did crack open a hex editors and change the dll to play my sound. It's MUTH/R boot from Aliens. I just showed it to my son for the first time, so I change the start up so he would get a kick out of it; which he did.
a 800 dollar PC should last you 5 years. I have one that's 4 years old and I don't foresee upgrading it. Using steam I get most may games for under 20 bucks. I got the entire Civilization collect for 9.99. The exception to that was portal 2. I was more then happy to shell out first release price. Not something you can do on the console. SO I am saving money there.
And to use all the features of a game on XBox you need to pay a yearly fee. On the PC they are free.
I have an XBox, and a PS3 and a wii. I find specific types of games to be superior on the console.
I am running a 4 year old system and it plays crysis fine. I built a new system because there are 4 of us and we only had 4 computers.
The only people chasing are the people that need the illusion of on e more FPS.
And I have been gaming on PCs for that entire existence of the PC. I am well aware of the chase. Especially after Doom came out where you would need to upgrade the processor for the next game. Like I said, long gone. and good riddance.
Becasue Valve is an excellent game delivery platform.

How else do you get rid of nits?
No.

Blind beliefs such as:
"What a surprise, cops are bullies, liars, and thugs."
Please think.
Are you in public? then your right to privacy does not include filming you about your business.
That is ANYBODY.
"And, what if I did not want the tape to be posted? "
Too damn bad.
"Maybe I did something shameful and don’t want it to be public?"
Too damn bad.
" A little careful editing and it could look very bad."
and now you change the subject. That would be lying or fraud. We have laws for that already.
Based on my experience with HIPAA, it's very likely the officer thought he was correct.
How would YOU have written it?
programming tools.
The are a way to present commonly done routine things, not logic to the core need of the application.
It's still better in person. For many reason, mostly because sitting the the same room you can much more easily maintain sever channel of conversations at once... and play to see who pays for the food.
But I'm not sure why he thing you can only play with strangers.

If Valve put the money for it, it would happen.

the PS3 stacks. it's just wobbly.
Console that stack,. The ,lamest excuse to whine about something I have heard in a long time. And I've been coming here for 14 years~!

What is you BIOS?
Or maybe everything isn't FOSS?
Only games that use steamworks have DRM.
Note the period.
Except the use of steam gives them wide access. So they actually make more money, overall.
No it is not. It is a platform that can be used that way should the people putting out the game wish it to be.
"but ultimately it restricts your use of the games."
oh?
not, it will not be big. Why do you think more games on Linux would be big? how many people aren't gaming because of that?
If you think gaming it the stop gap for Linux expansion, you are i for a rude awakening.
Which doesn't fix the wear issue of the SSD.
Which is a lot better then it was, but still not as longer as platters.
Anyway, game have minimal benefit from SSD.

Show me a home application the needs it.
Yes, I'll just run right out and buy a 2 terabyte SSD.
Good luck editing a 8G video file.

The money argument? OK.

What XBox lasts 5 years~
psst..
that chase is largely over.
I am running a 4 year old system and it plays crysis fine.
I built a new system because there are 4 of us and we only had 4 computers.

Which I have always said: you have this huge ship, how about a second warp core?
It is something you would only have to worry about until you got to the crash site~
